[AS04425(ALL)08/95]
With Auto Memory Store, you can
continually set strong stations into your
memory buttons without losing your existing
memory presets, which is especially handy
while traveling. Your radio will automatically
set your memory buttons to the strong local
stations so you don't have to continually
manually tune to existing stations.
*
[AS04450(ALL)08/95]
Activate Auto Memory Store by pushing the
ªAUTO PRESETº button once. Your radio
will set the first five strong stations of the
band you are in (AM, FM1 or FM2) into the
memory buttons. The display will show
ªAUTOº, then run through the frequencies,
stopping momentarily on the stations being
set into the memory buttons. The radio is
now in the ªAUTOº mode and this display
will show ªAUTOº each time a preset is
activated.
*
[AS04475(ALL)08/95]
NOTE: If there are fewer than five strong
stations in the frequency band, the
remaining unfilled buttons will store
the last strong station detected on the
band.
*
[AS04500(ALL)08/95]
After all stations have been filled, the radio
will begin playing the station stored on
memory button 1.
*
[AS04525(ALL)08/95]
To deactivate the Auto Memory Store mode
and return to the manually-set memory
button stations (or those stations set using
Auto Memory Load), simply push the
ªAUTO PRESETº button. Display will show
ªAUTOº then ªOFFº. The next time Auto
Memory Store is activated on that band, the
radio will store the next set of five strong
stations.

Towing Your Vehicle
[RE24750(ALL)08/95]
The recommended method to tow your Aerostar
is with flatbed or wheel lift equipment.
However, slingbelt towing is acceptable. On
vehicles equipped with an under-vehicle spare
tire carrier, remove the tire assembly from the
carrier and store it in a secure area before
towing. For E-4WD vehicles, the 4-wheel drive
system must be disabled prior to towing. The
transmission must be in N (Neutral) and the
ignition switch must be in the OFF position to
disable the Electronic 4-Wheel Drive System.

Circuit Breakers
[SV44200(ALL)08/95]
If you need to check a circuit breaker, locate the
fuse panel first. Otherwise, locate the circuit
breaker according to the instructions on the
charts given earlier in this chapter.
*
[SV44400(ALL)10/92]
However, you should know that the circuit
breakers will reset themselves and allow the
electrical parts to work again once the overload
on the circuit is removed. If the circuit breakers
continue to cut off electricity, have your vehicle's
electrical system checked.
*
[SV44450(ALL)02/95]
Diagnostic equipment is needed to check circuit
breakers. Refer to the manufacturer's
instructions.
[SV44500(ALL)08/95]
If you replace a circuit breaker, use one with the
same amperage rating. To remove a circuit
breaker, grip it with your finger and thumb and

By law, anyone who manufactures, repairs,
services, sells, leases, trades vehicles, or
supervises a fleet of vehicles is not permitted to
intentionally remove an emission control device

may be liable if their emission control device is
removed or is prevented from working.
